Peacock butterfly

The peacock butterfly, Aglais io. Abundant throughout most of lowland England and Wales, however less common through Scotland. With the caterpillars of the peacocks solely eating nettles, the butterflies can seem from March through to September. This iconic butterfly can be seen across many habitat including woodland, heathland, farmland and within gardens; feeding on nectar rich flowers and basking in the sunlight, from which they draw all their body heat #amaturephotography #amature #amaturephotographer #wildlife #wildlifephotographer #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #naturephotographer #female #femalephotographer #cannon #cannonphotographer #cannon700d #butterfly #peacock #peacockbutterfly #britishwildlife #britishsummer #aglaisio #colour #flowers #ntcragside #cragside #northumberland
